Group Classes ~ Enjoy exercising with friends!
Welcome to the water! We have received an overwhelming amount of interest since returning to the water and we're doing our best to accommodate as many swimmers as we can. Each swimmer has 1-2 instructors with them. Classes include both individualized and group time so swimmers can develop their swimming skills and their social skills! It's great fun!
